"Overestimation of argyle patterns"

The four "twisted cords" are physically parallel to each other and are aligned with the same distance, but they appear to tilt alternately and the distance between the first and second or the distance between the third and fourth appears to be larger than the distance between the second and third.

"Reversal of spiral"

In each image, concentric circles appear to be spirals (a spiral). There is a difference in the direction of spiral. The upper two images show spirals that approach the center by rotating clockwise (the spiral illusion of the Zöllner illusion), while the lower one display spirals that approach the center by rotating counterclockwise (the spiral illusion of the Fraser illusion). All images are made of oblique segments of the same orientation when seen from the center.
